Josh Clipperton of The Canadian Press joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down the biggest stories around the NHL and the Maple Leafs.The conversation started with Amazon Prime acquiring the exclusive Canadian rights to Wednesday Night Hockey from Rogers and what it could mean for hockey fans. Clipperton weighed in on the growing cost of following the sport and questioned whether another streaming subscription could hurt accessibility.From there, the guys discussed Macklin Celebrini's massive new contract extension and what the NHL's exploding salary cap could mean moving forward. They debated the possibility of future buyer's remorse on some of these mega deals, the emergence of teams operating with internal salary caps, and what it all could mean for Gavin McKenna's next contract if he lives up to the hype.Clipperton also shared his expectations for McKenna's rookie season in Toronto, discussed whether the Maple Leafs' reputation as hockey's toughest market is deserved, and explained why he believes the pressure from the media is often overstated.

There's been a major new development in the controversy surrounding the Canadian Museum for Human Rights' new Nakba exhibit. Canada's Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Mark Miller, toured the exhibit before the show opened last weekend, and has now publicly criticized some of what he saw. In an interview published Monday June 29 by The Canadian Press, Miller said some wording “should be rectified”, and suggested that the museum's board should have been shown the exhibit before it opened. He also said it was a “failure” that curators chose not to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization, or state that Jewish Israelis were targeted during the Oct. 7 attacks. The museum told The CJN it stands by its word choices, but has sent Miller's concerns to its curation team, which has a content revision process. Before the minister's comments became public, The CJN's Izzie Helenchilde travelled to Winnipeg as one of the journalists invited inside the exhibit Friday,June 26 for a media preview. On this episode of “North Star”, she joins host Ellin Bessner to describe exactly what she saw and whether the exhibit matched the controversy that's been surrounding it. You'll also hear from some of the people she interviewed: the Museum's CEO Isha Khan; Fouad Sahyoun, a Palestinian Canadian whose experience is one of the few video testimonials in the exhibit; Gail Asper, whose family founded the museum; and Rabbi Yosef Benarroch, just retired as spiritual leader of Winnipeg's Adas Yeshurun Herzlia synagogue. Related stories Minister responsible for Canada's museums says Nakba exhibit “should be rectified”, in The CJN. Nakba exhibit opens amidst protests and controversy, in The CJN. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights' only Jewish trustee explained why he quit, on The CJN's North Star podcast. **** Credits Host and writer: Ellin Bessner ( @ebessner ) Production team: Zachary Kauffman (senior producer), Izzie Helenchilde (producer), Michael Fraiman (executive producer), Alicia Richler (editorial director) Music: Bret Higgins Support our show Subscribe to The CJN newsletter Donate to The CJN (+ get a charitable tax receipt) Subscribe to North Star (Not sure how?

Canada's World Cup journey continues, and Brenden Escott is joined by Gemma Karstens-Smith from the Canadian Press in Vancouver ahead of a massive group-stage showdown against Qatar. We set the scene from the host city, examining the buzz surrounding the Canadian men's national team and the growing excitement as supporters dream of a historic breakthrough on home soil. Head coach Jesse Marsch met with the media ahead of the match, and we break down the biggest takeaways from his comments. How did he assess Canada's performance in the tournament opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina? Was the focus on the positives from a landmark result, or on the areas that still need improvement? We also discuss any hints he may have dropped regarding Canada's tactical approach and potential lineup decisions. Several substitutes made a significant impact in the opener, creating some healthy competition for places. We examine whether strong performances off the bench could force Marsch into making changes to his starting XI as Canada looks to build on its momentum. Canada earned its first-ever World Cup point with a spirited 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina, and we look back at the performance that captured the attention of the country. What stood out most, and what lessons can be carried into the next match? With history already made, the focus now shifts to opportunity. We discuss the importance of tomorrow's clash with Qatar, what a result would mean for Canada's chances of advancing and whether this squad has shown enough to convince Canadians that a special tournament run may be within reach.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he is heading south for talks ahead of the upcoming CUSMA review, but says a date has not yet been set.

Chaos surrounding a referendum question on whether Alberta should separate from Canada has Premier Danielle Smith walking a shaky political tightrope.

Every week, someone tells me they want to retire by 40. My first question is always the same: why? The FIRE movement promises freedom decades earlier than traditional retirement.  Online, it's often presented as a fairly simple formula: save aggressively, invest consistently, and escape the workforce early. But in Canada today, is FIRE actually realistic — or has it quietly become a strategy mostly for high earners, extreme savers, and people willing to take bigger risks than they admit? I recently sat down with Canadian Press reporter Kumutha Ramanathan to discuss what I've seen from real clients pursuing financial independence and early retirement. No hype. No fantasy projections. Just the math, the psychology, and the tradeoffs people rarely talk about honestly. Here's what we covered: The income level where traditional FIRE actually starts becoming mathematically possible in Toronto Why one popular version of FIRE may actually be harder than the original approach The Canadian realities most FIRE discussions barely mention What early retirees often discover emotionally after leaving work decades early The five biggest mistakes FIRE communities consistently make Why disciplined savers can still end up with portfolios that are too small The difference between needing income and needing cash flow The first thing I ask anyone who says they want to retire at 40 In my latest podcast episode you'll learn my full answers from the interview, including the parts most FIRE discussions tend to leave out.  

'The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat'. It's an old chestnut that seems apropos in the blood sport of Alberta politics.The victory is for the Alberta government, as it clears another hurdle in its landmark energy deal with Ottawa. The province has reached an agreement with the federal government on increasing the effective industrial carbon price to $130 per tonne by 2040. While the Pathways Project on carbon capture, utilization and storage, a potential pipeline route, and a private sector proponent are still to come, the agreement could see construction on an oil pipeline to British Columbia start as early as September 2027.The defeat is for Alberta separatists hoping to see a question about independence on October's referendum ballot. A judge threw out a separatist petition, ruling that Elections Alberta should not have approved it and citing a failure to consult with First Nations. Premier Danielle Smith is now facing calls to put the separation question on the ballot herself.Kathleen Petty is joined on West of Centre this week by Trevor Harrison, a political sociologist at the University of Lethbridge; Lori Williams, a political scientist at Mount Royal University; and Jack Farrell, an Alberta legislative reporter for The Canadian Press.

After a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander had a visa for Canada granted and revoked, Globe and Mail Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife, Canadian Press deputy parliamentary bureau chief Mia Rabson and La Presse parliamentary bureau chief Joël-Denis Bellavance argue that the Carney government's sparse explanations amount to another communications failure — particularly after what Fife calls a 'pathetic performance' by the immigration minister at committee.

Wab Kinew gulped hard after he read our three exclusive reports in the Winnipeg Sun (here, here and here) about planning documents filed with Health Canada for his promised safe consumption site, and on Monday he backed down. "I have realized that I want this thing to be done right, I don't want it to be done quickly.”Well then... what should be done about the Free Press pundit who demanded it be done quickly regardless of whether it was done right?Episode 12 Part 1 - A brief update for concerned listeners on a recent health issue that for now, won't be affecting our ongoing reporting in the Sun and on the podcast7.00 Part 2- On December 17th, Winnipeg Free Press Dan Lett columnist complained:"At a consultation this week, (Addictions Minister Bernadette) Smith was once again bombarded with allegations that her plan for a supervised consumption site is not fully fleshed out... Allegations that “your plan is not a real plan” is a convenient line of attack." Ninety days later, on March 16th, Canadian Press reported: "The Manitoba government is walking back comments that asupervised drug consumption site could open soon, with Premier Wab Kinew saying the province is taking some time to get things right... It could take months for a networkof services to be set up, he said..."So... the critics of the SCS plan who live in Winnipeg were right, and "harm reduction" champion Dan Lett who lives in Ontario was wrong. How inconvenient.Hear why Dan Lett now owes those people an apology.Listen to a review of Lett's December column and how completely unhinged his comments now appear to be, after Kinew has echoed neighborhood stakeholder concerns about how the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre intended to run the drug user facility without proper oversight by Bernadette Smith. ******Here is our latest column with an analysis of Kinew's comments about why he's stalling on opening the SCS:https://www.winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/fumbling-ndp-fails-in-safe-consumption-site-rollout/article_628425ac-86e0-4c7b-87d3-186c6af63960.html*****A former Winnipeg School trustee posted: "Is Marty the only media person who has been able to shape this provincial government this much JUST by exposing the truth?"Among the list of successes:1.

In the news cycle, an elderly woman attempting to poison her husband would have garnered a pretty small amount of attention from the press, then faded away when a larger story came along. But it didn't take long for the press to learn that the poisoning of Melissa Ann Shepard's new husband wasn't  the first time she had been suspected or convicted of attempted murder. In fact, Melissa Ann Shepard had a criminal history in two countries that went back decades, including many crimes that were very similar to the one she had just perpetrated only with a much worse outcome.

Ontario Conservative MP Michael Ma announced Thursday evening that he was crossing the floor to the Liberals, bringing the government within one seat of the 172-vote threshold for a majority in the House of Commons. Power & Politics breaks the news live on the program and gets instant reaction from the bureau chiefs of the Globe and Mail, Canadian Press and La Presse. Plus, despite no official resumption of Canada's trade talks, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne tells Power & Politics that 'what we're trying to do now is sectoral deals' with the U.S. and that 'discussions are ongoing.'

It's a life-or-death situation for 30 beluga whales currently being held at Marineland, an amusement park located in Niagara Falls, Ont., who's doors shuttered more than a year ago following claims of animal mistreatment.The park has requested the mammals be moved to an aquarium in China, or for the federal government to provide emergency funding to keep them alive - or else they risk being euthanized. While these whales' lives remain in limo, these last weeks have been a finger-pointing battle between the park, the provincial government and federal government, all claiming onus doesn't fall on their shoulders to care for the whales.Host Richard Southern speaks to Liam Casey, a journalist for the Canadian Press, to discuss the park's claims of insufficient funds, and where exactly these whales belong if Marineland can't take care of them.

At its peak, Marineland was the second most popular tourist destination in Ontario's Niagara region after the falls. Visitors could get up close and personal with beluga whales, dolphins and orcas, and watch them perform in elaborate shows. Throw in a side of rollercoasters and other exhibits and you had a family friendly attraction built to last.But for years, the park has been mired in controversy and allegations of animal abuse. Business has declined to the point that the park is now closed to the public. However, several animals including 30 beluga whales remain trapped there. Marineland says it needs money or a new home for the whales, or else they might have to kill them.Liam Casey of the Canadian Press has been covering this story for years. He lays out what could happen to the whales, and what it all means for other parks like Marineland.We'd love to hear from you! Complete our listener survey here.

The Outer Realm welcomes back Brian Baker from Superstitious Times Date: October 8th, 2025 EP: 625 TOPIC: Brian returns and will talking about his new book “Eerie Whispers” - Exploring Canada's Reluctant Relationship With It's Ghostly Lore! Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Michelle Desrochers and The Outer Realm :https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !! About Brian: Brian Baker is a Toronto-based journalist captivated by pop culture and the paranormal. His journey began at age 4. While living in British Columbia, he encountered a shadowy apparition that sparked a lifelong fascination with the supernatural. This passion eventually led him to launch The Superstitious Times in April 2018, a news site dedicated to Canada's strange and unexplainable tales, and write his first book, Eerie Whispers: Canada's Reluctant Relationship with its Ghostly Lore. Before diving into journalism, Brian studied archaeology at the University of Toronto, driven by a lifelong curiosity for ancient civilizations and the mysteries therein. He grew up immersed in paranormal lore, a passion he now shares with his family, including his wife, two children and their ever-watchful cat. With two decades of work with publications like the Town Crier, the Canadian Press, Torstar Digital, the Globe and Mail, Sun Media, Urban Male Magazine and Chrome Magazine, Brian is all about capturing the unique and quirky in his articles. Oh, and he loves puffins. About The Book: Canada's paranormal roots run deep. We tell ghost stories around flickering campfires and share unexplained encounters with family and friends. Yet our polite, risk-averse nation often buries these experiences, rarely encouraging them in the places we live or in our arts and entertainment. Fear of stigma and discomfort with the unknown — especially death — keep the supernatural in the shadows. We allow only flirtations with ghosts, ghouls, and goblins, mostly at Halloween. Eerie Whispers explores Canada's haunted history, drawing from the diverse folklore of its immigrant communities and the traditional stories of Indigenous Peoples. It asks why Canadians, unlike Americans or the British, are reluctant to celebrate this part of our culture. Brian Baker encourages us to embrace the uncanny and find the courage needed to amplify our nation's supernatural voice.
